Donna and I had a wonderful brunch at The Delhi Street Bistro which we followed up with an equally wonderful walk through the trails of Riverside Park. We each did a '100 shots of one subject' assignment. I had done this assignment before, with film, which presented as a completely different exercise. Having such easy access to the image really changed the way I shot this tree. The first thing I noticed is that I wasn't paying enough respect to exposure as a communicative tool within in an image. I found I didn't have to consciously think as much about exposure because I could see and appreciate the results right away. I'm talking about 'perfect' exposure, and well, I neither believe in, nor subscribe to, a notion of 'perfect', however, the play and effect of exposure wasn't as acutely present with digital. I am going to repeat this with a covered viewfinder and see if I can commune with a more intuitive sense of exposure. Donna and I know how a brain folder full of ideas and I can't wait to get at them.
